Another native palm of the Madasgascar rainforest. A suitable palm for growing indoors, the Sugar Cane palm is very drought tolerant. Though stated to be the most cold cold hardy of the Dypsis, reports have this palm dying when temperatures get below 27F for exteneded periods. Grows very similar to D. lutescens with a clumping habit, but smaller, more elegant and sometimes solitaire. Prefers lightly shade but moist locations.
